ation project and particularly in

representative of the bureau of
agricultural economics, stationed at
On gon State college.

Specific Case Cited
A recent specific case cited is
that of a young Montana couple
who were induced to pay $500 foi
land in the Columbia ba. in project
which proved" to be so-called Class
6, or poor land for which no irrig
ation water will ever be provided
under present plans. The land is
roughly estimated to be worth
ab iut $3 an acre instead of the
$23.50 per acre they agreed to
pay.
The bureau of reclamation at
Coulee Dam, Washington, is pre
pared to answer any inquiries
promptly and without charge, in
regard to land in the Columbia
basin project, says Moore. Some
land may remain without water for
20 years or more, as the plan is
to bring under irrigation only small
parcels each year.

America is in a state of emer-(
gency. Every citizen is urged to
do his part by buying Defense
Savings Bonds and Stamps.
Some advertisements are better than
others, just as some show windows are
better than others.
Or as some salesmen are better than
others.
So advertising isn’t perfect, but it does
a better job than anything else yet
discovered.
It tells you what is to be had, and
where to buy it, and is the cheapest
way of doing this job.
